Hi cassie,

I came across the word "小年夜" for the first time when I was watching TV yesterday. This year, "大年三十" (The Eve of 春节) is January 25th, isn't it? 

百度百科

过去,过小年是"官三民四道土和尚五",就是说凡是家有秀才以上的功名的都在腊月二十三日过小年,黎民百姓是二十四日,道士和尚是二十五日。如今北方地区多在二十三日过小年

uncle changye,

你说的对,今年的大年三十除夕夜是在一月二十五日!

关于小年,现在北方人大多数是在二十三过,而我们南方人大多数是在二十四过!

除夕夜就快到了,日复一日,年复一年,时间过的可真快啊!
